Cross of All Nations, Religious monument in Qanat Bakish, Lebanon.

The Cross of All Nations rises 73.8 meters into the sky, constructed with 170 tons of steel and a concrete base near Baskinta.

The cross was constructed from November 2008 to June 2010, representing a collaboration between the Maronite Church and French Catholic organization Association Terre de Dieu.

The monument's inauguration on September 13, 2010, gathered thousands of people from different religious denominations, reflecting Lebanon's interfaith connections.

Visitors can climb the internal ladder to reach a 300-square-meter platform located on the vertical beam of the cross.

The structure contains 1800 spotlights that illuminate the entire cross, making it the largest illuminated cross in the world.
